Optimum’s Gold Standard 100% Casein Protein

Some of you probably or may know that faster digesting amino acids are essential for your body immediately before and after exercise, but what about the other times throughout the day? Because casein protein is digested and absorbed at a slower rate than other forms of protein, it is most effective at times when the body goes hours without food and nutrients (i.e. before bedtime and between meals). Casein protein is slow digesting because it is acid-sensitive, causing the amino acids to take longer to be broken down into the amino acid subcomponents. The balanced release of amino acids over many hours makes this supplement a key component to your diet.
